[QUOTE="SuperDave, post: 2374749, member: 1892"]Sometimes we get so caught up in the details that we fail to ask the larger, disqualifying questions. What candidate is there to satisfy your theory which measures less than 18mm? On a more detail-oriented note, the only thing I see on the larger original images which seems anomalous is what looks like field beveling below and left of the date. The rest you've highlighted seems explainable via metal flow artifacts during the strike or polishing related to a previous clash (in front of the profile). This one might be a double-whammy - a coin with serious clash-related die polishing which has subsequently been cleaned.
